Thank you for your thoughtfulness. The link you gave me is actually a disabled embed, but I very quickly found a fix from dailymotion. Thank you for the heads up, once again!

This cube is not absurdly hard. Any n*n cube where n>3 can be generalized to be logically the same as a 3*3 cube, as soon as you consolidate the sides. You will notice he spends the first 6min just grouping the faces into one color. The complexity of that task is not in the same league as solving the 3*3, it's tedious, but not overly complex.

I would argue against a Gondry style reverse vid on the grounds of occam's razor, this is completely possible, and not flashy enough to be worth faking, due to the complexity of reverse wiring the counter, and syncing the sound.

Is there any way to know that this isn't like the Michael Gondry feet video?

Top 13?

MKONE wants to be an ass about tags... meh.... I can only get SO steamed about someone being asinine. After all, I vowed to downvote any and all videos by the Foo Fighters

(I'm joking. I upvoted the one by Michel Gondry)

Seriously, if people can have "auto-upvote" for things they like (and I think we ALL have them) then surely they can have "auto-downvote"

If he'd doing it based on his dislike of a type of VIDEO that's one thing, but if he were doing it for a type of PERSON that'd be another. This is, after all, video sift, not popularity sift right?

Copied comment from Thylan on source video of parody; that shows how truly mediocre that video was.

This a Mark Romanek music video. The DVD "The Work of Director Mark Romanek" has a discussion of how this video was made. It is part of series of DVDs about music video directors. The other directors in the series are: Anton Corbijn, Chris Cunningham, Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze and Stephane Sednaoui.

Wikipedia has lists for each director's music videos. Here's the one for Mark Romanek:

Fun fact: Paul Gondry is Michel Gondry's teenage son.
